The are about the only bulb I would buy besides PIAA. They have a nice color and are fairly bright. IMO not as good as the PIAA bulbs but still good for the price. They should be $25/ea.

PIAA bulbs go for about $67-89 retail. They are 115w for our trucks.

I've had PIAAs in all my cars and love em. The Silverstars are a nice comprimise in price.

I had them in my truck before I had the HID's and they were really nice. They are now in my girl's work car and still working great. The difference in them and the OEM bulbs really is night and day. This set has seen daily use for the last 2 years.

Silverstars are all I'm running up front. I would buy them again for sure. Leaps and bounds better than stock or any of the other bulbs I tried like Philips and APC.

Isn't a HID conversion illegal now?

I have had the Silverstars for like 6 months with no problems, I think they are pretty good. And nice price too.

I've had the Silverstars in for about a year now, and I love them. 100x's better than stock. I'm running them in my high/low beams, but have to say I hardly use my high beams anymore.
